State Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI) Ranks St. Luke Health Services Among The Best
St. Luke Health Services has been ranked among the best performing nursing homes in New York (and the highest rated in Oswego County), as measured by the State Department of Health's Nursing Home Quality Initiative (NHQI), an annual quality and performance evaluation project to improve the quality of care for residents in Medicaid–certified nursing facilities across New York State.
The current NHQI is based on the previous calendar year´s performance. Nursing homes are awarded points for quality and performance measures in the components of Quality, Compliance, and Efficiency. Specific deficiencies cited during the health inspection survey process are also incorporated into the results.
The points for all measures are then summed to create an overall score for each facility. Facilities are ranked into quintiles based on their overall scores. Quintile one represents the top–performing facilities, while quintile five represents the lowest–performing.
Thank you St. Luke staff for the care and compassion you provide our residents each and every day - it is recognized.
